Jin Shanyao slapped the rag across Shopkeeper Wang and strode into the chaos.
Shopkeeper Wang stared at Jin Shanyao's retreating figure, stamping his feet in frustration, "I acted impulsively! I acted impulsively..."
Seeing Jin Shanyao charging aggressively towards them, the people around instinctively made way for her. They watched as she walked behind the foreign man and reached out to give his buttocks a hard grope.
People around gasped in shock. The old man at the wonton stall even tried to wipe her hands with a rag. This girl really dared to touch anything dirty!
The foreign man turned around abruptly in fright, only to be met with a pair of lecherous eyes. Before he could react, the young man suddenly reached out and reached for his groin.
Startled, the man hurriedly released the girl, clutching his crotch tightly with both hands, his face contorted with rage.
He snapped, "Are you crazy?"
Jin Shanyao smiled, her gaze roaming brazenly over him. "You're wearing these tight clothes, aren't you just trying to seduce me?"
After saying that, she raised her hand and touched the man's buttocks, giving it a squeeze.
Jin Xiaoji cried out in pain, clutching his buttocks with one hand and his groin with the other. He trembled all over, staring at Jin Shanyao like a frightened pheasant.
The voice was almost a scream, "Get out of my way, you damned homosexual... I'm an envoy from Silla, or I'll have your emperor chop off your head!"
Jin Shanyao, her eyes flashing with mockery, and mumbled, "In Qingzhou Prefecture, who doesn't know I'm a pervert? You're dressed like this just to get my attention, aren't you?"
"Don't be afraid... I'm not a good person," she said, reaching to untie Jin Xiaoji's belt.
Seeing Jin Shanyao her thin arms and legs, Jin Xiaoji's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "You pervert... you've come here to die!"
He drew the dagger from his waist and rushed towards Jin Shanyao... but the next moment Jin Shanyao grabbed his collar, twisted his arm under his arm, and snatched the dagger from Jin Xiaoji's hand.
With a swift stroke, Jin Xiaoji's belt was severed in an instant. Jin Shanyao waved his hand mockingly, "Wow... so white. I love this vibe..."
Jin Xiaoji- gil, being Silla, had never suffered such humiliation. He started yelling at the top of his lungs, "Let me go, you damned homosexual, you'll die a horrible death..."
The howling quickly attracted the Silla people, who surrounded the Jin Shanyao without saying a word.
He was muttering incoherently, spewing out names of his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Jin Shanyao found the one who was cursing the loudest and slapped him across the face, causing blood to instantly flow from the corner of the man's mouth. He stared at Jin Shanyao in a daze.
He's an envoy... an envoy???
"Do you know who I am? I am You Tuo, the younger brother of the King of Silla. You dare to hit me... do you want to start a war with Silla?"
Jin Shanyao looked at him innocently and asked, "Then do you know who I am?"
You Tuo covered his face, gritting his teeth, and said, "And who are you from... state your name."
"I'll tell you your father... You don't even know me, yet you dare to be so arrogant!" Jin Shanyao him twice more. When the Silla people saw the young prince being beaten, they all drew their daggers, intending to Jin Shanyao to pieces.
Jin Shanyao You Tuo with one hand and pulled Jin Xiaoji with the other, kicking over the people rushing at them. Suddenly, someone shouted, "The officials are coming..."
Jin Shanyao her fan and looked over; oh no, it was Constable Wang...
She slammed her hands together forcefully... and there was a loud thud... their two heads collided heavily.
Two agonizing screams pierced the sky. You Tuo the impact, but he still cursed under his breath.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you..."
"I'll teach you to be arrogant, I'll teach you to harass respectable women... I'll run you over, you little punk!"
Jin Shanyao grabbed the two men and slammed them together with wide, sweeping movements, making their heads thud loudly...
"Stop... Where did this little thief come from, daring to lay a hand on the young prince..." Constable Wang, gripping his knife in one hand, strode towards them.
Seeing Constable Wang getting closer and closer, Jin Shanyao off You Tuo and Jin Xiaoji and ran away.
Constable Wang quickly helped You Tuo, "Is the young prince alright?"
You Tuo, Tuo shoved Constable Wang, pointed at his forehead, and shouted angrily, "You call this nothing... Come on, count how many bags are here?!"
"You people of the Sheng Dynasty dared to attack our envoy, you must give us an explanation!" After saying this, he saw Jin Xiaoji, who was pulling up his pants, and grabbed him, shoving him in front of Constable Wang.
"Look... look... they even took our pants off! So close, so very close..."
You Tuo was heartbroken. "My men have toiled day and night, braving wind and sun, just to deliver the tribute before the New Year, and this is how you treat us?"
That's too brutal... You have to give my men an explanation, or you'll regret it."
Constable Wang nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, I'll go arrest him right now. He must be brought to justice. You can do whatever you want with him..."
You Tuo smiled with satisfaction, and their eyes met... After a long silence, he said impatiently, "Go ahead and investigate, what are you staring at me for?"
Constable Wang suddenly realized what was happening, gripped his broadsword, and shouted to the onlookers, "Has anyone seen that petty thief...?"
The street was quiet on both sides; not a single person spoke. Constable Wang walked up to the wonton stall. "Old man... did you see who started this trouble?"
The old man, holding a soup spoon, said woodenly, "Sir, I'm old... my eyesight isn't good, I didn't see it."
Constable Wang turned around and grabbed a passerby who was about to run away, "Why are you running... Did you see that?"
"Sir... I have an upset stomach. I just came out and I don't know what happened... Ouch, I can't take it anymore, I'm having diarrhea," he said, clutching his stomach as he ran toward the outhouse.
After questioning everyone, Constable Wang a glimpse of Jin Shanyao peering over the wall, a smile flashing in his eyes.
He then apologized to You Tuo, "Look... there isn't even a single eyewitness. Why don't you go to the embassy to rest first, and I'll send you there after I catch the person..."
You Tuo stood on the street, clutching his head and looking around blankly, then roared angrily, "You piece of trash... if you hadn't stood still, he would have gotten away!"
Constable Wang nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, yes... Your Highness, please calm down... If you know the cause of the conflict, it will give me a direction for investigation."
Before You Tuo could speak, the old man at the wonton stall pointed at Jin Xiaoji and shouted, "I saw it! He was harassing a little girl..."
"Yes, I saw it too. He was the one harassing the young girl, that's why that pervert targeted him..."
Hiding in a corner, Jin Shanyao Shanyao's smile froze on her face... Prejudice is a mountain, and she could never shake off the label of "pervert."
The argument was still going on in the middle of the street.
A man, pulling up his pants, rushed over, pointed at Jin Xiaoji, and shouted, "I saw it too! He was the one harassing me in the street..." Before he could finish speaking, Jin Xiaoji interrupted him sharply.
"Didn't you have diarrhea and not see anything?"
The man, his neck stiff, retorted, "Ah... I just happened to see it, so what... If I didn't have an upset stomach, I'd kill you... Ouch, I can't take it anymore, I'm having a reaction."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the outhouse.
Constable Wang's face turned cold. "Young Prince, is this all there is to Silla— so despicable and unfit for public display? Or is this the prevailing custom in Silla?"
You Tuo's face was extremely ugly. He kicked Jin Xiaoji and said, "Useless thing." Then he turned and walked towards the embassy.
After the crowd dispersed, Constable Wang walked to the street corner and coughed twice. "Go back and change your clothes."
Jin Shanyao gave Constable Wang a thumbs-up, "A man who can bend and stretch... a real man..."
Constable Wang felt uncomfortable with the praise. "Alright... let's go. The Silla people will stay in Qingzhou Prefecture for three days. Don't wander around during these three days."
With Jin Shanyao, she turned and went back to the Anzhi Hall to change back into women's clothing.
Qing He asked in confusion, "Master, why did you come back to change clothes again? Didn't you say that shorts would be more convenient for working?"
Jin Shanyao said helplessly, "I'm afraid a piece of clothing could start a war."
Qing He was completely confused. Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaosi had already loaded the sacks and baskets onto the oxcart. "Master, we can go now..."
"Okay, let's go..."
